Velodyne Sensors Play A Key Role in Automated DrillingFebruary 15, 2019|In Media Coverage|By Albie Jarvis
In a recent blog
post, Kitware, a software research, consulting, and development
company, details its collaboration with Actemium using Velodyne lidar to
detect, locate and seize objects on a construction site for semi-automated
ground drilling.
The post describes how it works:
“A KUKA robot arm driven by Kitware vision algorithms is
used to put additional tubes into the ground driller head. Actemium chose a Velodyne
VLP-16 LiDAR (Puck) sensor as an input and asked Kitware to develop
the pattern recognition algorithms based on VeloView.”
VeloView, developed by Kitware which is a Velodyne
integrator, supports visualization and processing of Velodyne lidar
data. This application demonstrates how companies are using lidar technology for
innovative solutions.
